Podcasts about Companies House

Tom Herbert opens the podcast by looking at accounting firm consolidators and the difficulty of integrating acquired practices. Following news that the sale of Xeinadin has collapsed after its private equity owners failed to land a £1bn-plus price tag, he explores Xeinadin's background and the challenges of knitting together different tech stacks, workflows and data. Drawing on his conversation with M&A specialist David Boyd, he asks whether AI can genuinely speed up this change or whether old mistakes are being repeated. In other news, it was announced that the timeline for small companies and micro entities to file their profit and loss (P&L) accounts with Companies House has been paused following stakeholder concerns. Richard Hattersley outlines what happened and whether this was expected. He reveals that many have welcomed the delay with 2027 already shaping up to be a busy year. And lastly, Matthew Ord shares his chat with Bob Horgan, FD at Central Technology who believes there's a push towards AI and automation to cut costs and free finance for more strategic work. The team questions whether these organisations have the culture, data quality and system fit to turn that promise into real value.

Being a social enterprise or Community Interest Company does not mean tax obligations disappear. In this episode, we walk through the real tax position for CICs, clearing up misunderstandings that regularly catch directors out. We cover corporation tax, VAT, payroll, grants, and how structure affects your tax exposure. What Is a Community Interest Company? A Community Interest Company is a special type of limited company created to serve the community. It sits between a traditional profit-making business and a charity. While the purpose is social or environmental, CICs are still companies and remain firmly within the UK tax system. Corporation Tax and CICs CICs pay corporation tax just like any other limited company. If trading income exceeds allowable expenses, the resulting surplus is taxable. Being values-led or not-for-profit does not remove this obligation. Corporation tax rates currently range from 19% for profits up to £50,000, rising to 25% for profits over £250,000, with marginal relief applying in between. Making a surplus is not a failure — it shows sustainability. What matters is how that surplus is managed and reinvested. VAT: A Common CIC Trap VAT frequently causes problems for Community Interest Companies. Grants and donations are usually outside the scope of VAT and do not count toward the registration threshold. However, income from selling goods or services does. If taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 over a rolling 12-month period, VAT registration becomes mandatory. Profitability is irrelevant. Voluntary registration may be possible, but charging VAT to non-VAT-registered communities can create real cost pressures. Digital systems such as Xero cloud accounting help track turnover accurately and reduce the risk of missing VAT thresholds. Employing Staff and PAYE Once a CIC employs staff, PAYE applies. This includes registering as an employer, operating payroll, deducting tax and National Insurance, and paying employer contributions. From April 2025, employer National Insurance applies once earnings exceed £5,000 per year, charged at 15%. Employment Allowance may reduce the impact, but payroll obligations remain. Freelancers, Contractors, and Risk CICs using freelancers must assess employment status correctly. The engager is responsible for determining whether someone is genuinely self-employed. This is based on control, substitution, and equipment — not personal preference. CIC Structure: Shares vs Guarantee CICs can be limited by guarantee or by shares. Guarantee-based CICs have members and reinvest all surpluses. Share-based CICs may pay dividends, but these are capped by regulation and are never tax-deductible. The structure chosen affects profit distribution, funding options, and long-term strategy. Grants and Tax Treatment Grants are a major income source for many CICs. Most grants are restricted income and recognised in line with project delivery. Unused funds are deferred rather than treated as profit. Grants usually fall outside VAT, unless linked to specific service delivery. While grants themselves may not be taxable, any surplus generated can still create tax implications. Practical Tax Planning Tips Keep Clear Records Accurate records from day one reduce risk and stress. Cloud accounting provides visibility and control. Plan for Tax Bills If a surplus arises, setting aside funds early avoids last-minute pressure. Tax is a sign of success, not failure.

It's time to be one with nature, as Priyanca D'Souza talks to us about her passion for outdoor swimming. She shares how immersing in cold water offers a transcendent experience that pulls her into the present moment, from still lakes where she floats under the sky to challenging rivers that demand complete mental focus. Priyanca explains how outdoor swimming differs fundamentally from pool swimming, and emphasizes the minimalist nature of the activity. She also discusses how she actively seeks swimming spots when traveling, praising cities like Copenhagen for integrating swimming into urban life, and notes the mental health benefits of outdoor swimming, that allow her to completely disconnect from technology.

Community Interest Companies, or CICs, are designed for businesses that want to make a difference while still being commercially sustainable. In this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we explain what a CIC is, why it exists, and when it makes sense to form one.We cover the key differences between CICs and charities, the rules you must follow, and how profits are managed. Whether you are starting a social enterprise or transitioning from a limited company, this episode gives you a clear understanding of how to use a CIC structure to do good and stay financially viable.Main Topics & DiscussionWhat Is a Community Interest Company?A Community Interest Company is a special type of limited company created for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for public good. It combines commercial flexibility with a social mission, allowing businesses to operate with purpose while remaining financially independent.Why Choose a CIC?Unlike charities, CICs can trade freely, pay staff, and make a profit, but their assets and surplus must primarily benefit the community. The structure gives credibility to organisations that want to attract funding or contracts while showing a clear commitment to social impact.Many founders choose a CIC when they want to balance doing good with maintaining control and the ability to generate income.How CICs Differ from CharitiesCharities are regulated by the Charity Commission, while CICs are overseen by the CIC Regulator. The main distinction lies in flexibility. CICs can pay directors and distribute limited dividends, whereas charities face tighter restrictions. CICs also have simpler reporting and governance requirements compared to registered charities.Legal Requirements and OversightEvery CIC must submit an annual community interest report, explaining how its activities benefit the community. It must also file accounts with Companies House and remain transparent about how profits are used. The regulator can reject or question applications if a business's objectives do not clearly serve the public interest.When to Register as a CICRegistering as a CIC makes sense when your business has a clear social or community purpose but still operates commercially. It is ideal for projects that generate revenue while tackling social or environmental challenges. If your main focus is profit for private shareholders, a traditional limited company may be a better fit.Funding Opportunities for CICsCICs can access funding from ethical investors, social impact funds, and grants that are unavailable to standard limited companies. This makes them attractive to entrepreneurs who want to create measurable change while sustaining long-term growth.Common Pitfalls to AvoidRunning a CIC comes with responsibilities. Failing to submit community reports, misusing profits, or not keeping accurate records can lead to penalties or deregistration. Always keep clear documentation of decisions and spending to remain compliant and maintain public trust.Final ThoughtsCommunity Interest Companies offer a balanced way to combine purpose and profit. They provide the freedom to operate like a business while committing to social good. Understanding when and how to form one helps you stay compliant and credible. A well-managed CIC not only supports your mission but strengthens your long-term financial sustainability.Episode Timecodes [00:00:00] – Introduction: What is a CIC?

After enjoying a week in Tenby, Richard Hattersley returns to the podcast to discuss Companies House reforms. While Companies House confirmed small companies will be required to file their profit and loss (P&L) accounts, doubts quickly followed. Hattersley unpacks where the reforms stand, the debate around P&L filing and why the situation has become so unclear. Back from Norway, Tom Herbert takes a look at the audit market and shares his growing concerns about the role of auditors. He draws on David Graeber's “Bullshit Jobs” concept, where people feel their work lacks real purpose, and wonders if audit is heading in that direction. Once seen as a pillar of financial integrity, audit may be losing its meaning. Herbert reflects on what this could mean for attracting new talent, the growing skills gap and the deeper identity crisis facing the profession. Matthew Ord shares a new ICAEW report on the evolution of mid-tier accountancy firms, highlighting that many still aren't convinced by private equity. He runs through some of the findings, as the team explores why some independent firms remain cautious, whether we'll ever agree on whether PE is good or bad and how the ongoing skills gap continues to shape the conversation.

Making Tax Digital represents HMRC's ambitious plan to bring tax reporting into the digital age. Consequently, we're facing significant changes that will affect thousands of self-employed individuals and landlords across the UK. Moreover, these changes are no longer a distant possibility but a concrete reality with confirmed implementation dates. The MTD Timeline: When Changes Take EffectOriginally, MTD was scheduled for April 2024. However, the government revised the timetable in December 2022. Subsequently, we now have a phased rollout approach that gives businesses more time to prepare.Specifically, the implementation follows this timeline: April 6, 2026: Businesses earning over £50,000 annually from self-employment or property letting must comply April 6, 2027: The threshold drops to £30,000-£50,000 April 6, 2028: Finally, those earning £20,000-£30,000 must join the schemeHow MTD Changes Your Tax ReportingPreviously, most self-employed individuals filed one annual tax return. Conversely, MTD requires quarterly updates throughout the year. Accordingly, you'll submit information four times annually, followed by a final year-end declaration.Additionally, paper records become obsolete under these new rules. Instead, you must use MTD-compatible software to record all income and expenses digitally. Eventually, traditional self-assessment returns will disappear entirely, replaced by this quarterly system. Should You Incorporate to Avoid MTD?Currently, limited companies don't fall under MTD requirements for corporation tax. Therefore, some business owners consider incorporating to delay compliance. However, we strongly advise against making decisions purely for tax reasons.Historically, incorporation provided significant tax savings. Nevertheless, these benefits have diminished over recent years. Generally, the tipping point for incorporation sits around £25,000 annual profit. Below this threshold, the tax advantages often prove marginal.Furthermore, becoming a limited company brings additional responsibilities: Companies House registration and annual filings Payroll system operation Both personal and corporate tax obligations Higher accounting fees Stricter penalty regimesAdministrative Impact and CostsUndoubtedly, MTD increases administrative burdens for self-employed individuals. Quarterly reporting means more frequent deadlines and ongoing software costs. However, embracing digital accounting tools can streamline this process significantly.Alternatively, limited companies face different administrative challenges. Specifically, they must manage payroll obligations, national insurance contributions, and potentially VAT compliance. Additionally, the rules around mixed personal and business expenses change when you incorporate. Making the Right Decision for Your BusinessObviously, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to this challenge. Rather, your decision should align with your business goals and circumstances. Particularly important is considering your long-term strategy, not just immediate tax implications.Certainly, professional advice proves invaluable when navigating these choices. Whether you choose to remain self-employed or...

The UK's company formation process is fast, easy and cheap. The net result of being open to almost any business is that up to half the companies on the UK's Companies House register may have no legitimate purpose. Instead, those companies are used by fraudsters as a vital tool in scams and money laundering schemes. Many are set up using fake identities and addresses. Often, they break the reporting rules and never file accounts. And Companies House has become a honeypot for organised crime groups from around the world.In the latest episode of the Unseen Money podcast, Timur Yunusov and I are joined by dark money expert Graham Barrow, who has exposed some of the worst failings of the UK's company formation regime.Belatedly, the UK government is acting to address those failings. But will new legislation go far and fast enough? Listen to the podcast to find out.

The number of UK buy-to-let property companies listed at Companies House has soared to record levels since George Osbourne introduced his ‘Section 24’ tax bombshell on landlords. If you are stuck in the Section 24 tax trap contact me at charles@charleskelly.net to arrange a free consultation with a property tax specialist. There are now over 400,000 limited property companies registered, more than any other businesses and four times as many as fast food firms. Since 2016 there has been a fourfold rise in incorporated buy-to-let businesses, much of which is due to George Osbourne’s ‘Section 24’ tax hike on landlords. The change in the law meant that buy-to-let landlords with properties held in their own names could no longer offset mortgage interest against their rent (pre-profit gross income). Almost 700,000 properties are now held in limited companies, rather than in individual names, which has become the standard method used to buy investment property in the UK.

The UK prides itself in being open for innovative tech firms—and companies in general—to set up business. It takes only £12—and 15-20 minutes—to create a new company online.But the laxity of the country's system for new company formations has made the UK a goldmine for scammers. And the problem is getting worse: fraud, much of it digital, now accounts for over 40 per cent of all recorded crime in England and WalesIn the latest episode of Unseen Money, Timur Yunusov and I discuss a recent Financial Times article about a London-based fraud victim, Livia Giuggioli Firth, who was conned by scammers into sending £325k from her company's bank account. Instead of asking for compensation from her own bank for being a victim of an authorised push payment fraud, Ms. Giuggioli Firth took the unusual step of suing the scammers' bank in court. This forced the disclosure of the names if not of the individual scammers, but of the network of companies they used to launder the stolen money.The court case unveiled some of the principal weaknesses in the UK's system for deterring and catching fraudsters.In the podcast, we discuss:Why the UK is a heaven for digital fraudstersWhy Companies House is still making it easy for criminalsHow the fintech and AI booms have fuelled scamsWho's responsible in the UK for fighting scammers?How criminals second-guess anti-fraud systems and the need for ongoing due diligenceThe role of cryptocurrency in laundering stolen moneyShould Zuckerberg and Musk reimburse digital fraud victims?Why AI-enabled scams are certain to become more dangerousWant to join Timur and me on a future episode of Unseen Money to talk about how scammers use Companies House registrations to aid their crimes?

In this no-holds-barred episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel Stone exposes one of the biggest scams in online business today, the rise of the so-called “CEO” with no real business. From rented Lamborghinis to fake revenue claims, these self-proclaimed gurus are everywhere, selling hype instead of results.Joel breaks down how to spot the frauds, avoid the BS, and find real mentors, coaches, and business allies who actually know what they're talking about. If you're serious about growth, this episode will save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.Key moments:

The rollercoaster story of the battle in the US (the world's biggest global financial secrecy offender) over the implementation of a beneficial ownership register, the attempts to stop it and the (many) lessons learned from the UK's registers. The US's Corporate Transparency Act seemed to be on track. Until it wasn't... "Everything is bigger in Texas, that's what they like to say! And as we've learned, even court orders are bigger in Texas." Meanwhile, we take a look at UK company registration progress, since the days when "you could just set up a company for 12 pounds and say you were Mickey Mouse with a shareholder Donald Duck and no one asked any questions." (Spoiler alert: there's still a long way to go) Guests include: Zorka Milin and Ian Gary of the Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition, Cynthia O'Murchu Financial Times Investigative Reporter, Graham Barrow, financial crime sleuth and podcaster, the Dark Money Files, campaigner and author Oliver Bullough Hosted and produced by Naomi Fowler, co-produced by Leo Schick.

As the urgency to address the climate emergency heightens, businesses are coming under increasing pressure to monitor, report and reduce their energy use and carbon emissions to meet net zero targets. As a result, there is an increase in regulations to ensure that companies are taking the climate emergency seriously and not pay lip service to climate action. During September, we'll be taking a look at a few of the latest regulations that may affect your organisation, including: ·      SECR – Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting ·      ISSB S2 - International Sustainability Standards Board Climate related disclosures ·      CSRD - Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ·      CSDDD - Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive In this episode, Mel Blackmore breaks down what Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is, its reporting requirements, it's qualifiers and how it can work in tandem with other carbon management initiatives. You'll learn ·      How do these regulations relate to ESG reporting? ·      What is Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting? ·      What are the SECR Emissions Reporting Requirements? ·      Who qualifies for SECR? ·      How can SECR work with other carbon management initiatives?   Resources ·      Carbonology ·      SECR     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:10] Episode summary: Over the course of September, Mel will be exploring the latest climate change regulations that may affect your organisation. In this episode she dives into Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR). [03:20] How do these regulations relate to ESG reporting? – ESG requirements include a commitment to sustainability, and reducing your overall impact. All of these regulations contribute towards an organisations ESG reporting requirements, as they require tangible proof to back up your ESG claims. They will require you to provide comprehensive emissions reporting, the level of detail of which will depend on the specific applicable regulation. [04:05] Future content to look forward to: During September Mel will look at involuntary emissions reporting schemes, but in October she will be looking into the voluntary schemes that many are already adopting as part of their Stakeholder requirements. This will include: ·      CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) ·      EcoVardis [05:50] What are the SECR Emissions Reporting Requirements?: SECR has been around since April 2019, and was originally introduced to replace the Carbon Reduction Commitment Scheme. This is a mandatory scheme, so it is a legal requirement for those that meet it's criteria. For those that are familiar with ESOS (The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme), it functions in a very similar way. This scheme isn't solely focused on reporting energy usage and carbon emissions, it's also looking for organisations to report on efficiency measures that are undertaken on an annual basis. Which is reflected in the financial reporting that you will also have to submit. It's important to note that SECR has specific requirements for the disclosure of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption. Emission reporting requirements vary slightly between quoted companies and large unquoted companies and LLPs. For quoted Companies: ·      Global Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions must be reported. Scope 3 emissions reporting is strongly recommended but voluntary. For large unquoted companies and LLPs: ·      UK based Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and associated energy consumption. Scope 3 emissions from the combustion of fuel in vehicles or equipment not owned by the company.

Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [12:05] Who qualifies for SECR?:  All UK Quoted Companies: Any company that has shares listed on the UK Stock Exchange is required to comply with SECR. Large Unquoted Companies and Large LLPs: These are companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) that are not listed on the UK Stock Exchange but meet two or more of the following criteria: ·      Turnover: More than £36 million per annum. ·      Balance Sheet Total: More than £18 million. ·      Number of Employees: 250 or more employees. These criteria ensure that SECR framework targets large organisations that have a significant impact on the UK's energy consumption and carbon emissions. By complying with SECR, these organisations can contribute significantly to the UK's sustainability goals. [14:10] When is the SECR disclosure made? SECR reporting must occur alongside financial reporting, being included within annual reports and Directors' Reports, which are then filed with Companies House. [14:30] The importance of Accurate SECR Reporting and Carbon Reduction -  The reporting process can unlock valuable insights and opportunities for operational improvements, leading to enhanced energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions over time. Demonstrating your organisation's commitment to energy efficiency and carbon reduction can enhance brand perception and foster positive relationships with stakeholders, including investors, clients, and regulators. [16:05] Integrating SECR Reporting with Other Carbon Management Initiatives -  You are missing a trick if you're keeping your SECR reporting separate from the rest of your business activities. It should be included as a part of your sustainability umbrella, and can be invaluable if you're going for other reporting requirements such as EcoVardis and CSRD. There's no need to reinvent the wheel if you already have something like an Environmental Management System in place, simply weave the additional requirements in with your usual annual maintenance. Established systems will already be adhered to across the business, meaning any new requirements will soon become business as usual. You could incorporate this as part of your Net Zero strategy, or Carbon Reduction Plan if PPN 06/21 is one of your reporting requirements. You could also incorporate this into your supply chain emissions reporting. If you would like some help with SECR, please get in touch with Carbonology.

Royal Insider Deep Crown observed, “I've been observing Prince Harry's public appearances and demeanor closely over the past few years, and I can't help but notice a distinct pattern emerging.When he's at these carefully staged events with Meghan, whether it's a red carpet gala or a charity function, there's a certain stiffness to him. A sense of unease, like he's not quite sure how to navigate this new world he finds himself in. The smile doesn't quite reach his eyes, the laughter seems a bit forced. It's as if he's playing a role, one that doesn't come naturally to him.But then, every once in a while, we catch a glimpse of the old Harry. The cheeky, irreverent prince who wore his heart on his sleeve and never took himself too seriously. It's usually when he's out with his old friends, the ones who knew him long before he became the Duke of Sussex. There's a lightness to him in those moments, a sense of ease and camaraderie that's been missing from his public persona of late.Meghan is rarely, if ever, present during those candid moments. It's as if Harry can only truly be himself when he's away from the pressures and expectations of his new life. When he's just 'one of the lads,' free to let loose and enjoy himself without worrying about how it will be perceived by the media or the public.It's a telling dichotomy, and one that speaks volumes about the challenges Harry has faced in adapting to his new reality. He's a man torn between two worlds, struggling to find his place and his purpose. On the one hand, he's committed to his wife and the life they've built together, but on the other, there's a part of him that yearns for the simplicity and freedom of his old existence.Perhaps in time, Harry will find a way to reconcile these two aspects of himself. To be the devoted husband and father, the compassionate activist and philanthropist, while also holding onto the essence of who he's always been - the fun-loving, mischievous prince who captured the hearts of so many. But for now, it seems he's still grappling with that duality, and it's a struggle that plays out in the public eye, for all the world to see.Meghan recently announced her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, on social media. However, The Independent discovered that the UK website domain for the brand surprisingly leads to a foodbank instead of the expected lifestyle website.The '.com' website leads to a stylized page introducing Meghan's brand and features a waiting list for interested individuals to join.Curiously, the '.uk' domain for American Riviera Orchard directs visitors to a landing page for the Trussell Trust, a foodbank charity, and subsequently to a fundraiser. This unexpected redirection has raised questions about the brand's UK website and its connection to the charity. Harry has officially changed his country of residence from the United Kingdom to the United States in paperwork related toTravalyst. For the past four years, Harry had continued to list his country of residence as the U.K. in the documentation confirming his status as a "person with significant control" over Travalyst, holding 75 percent or more of the shares and voting rights. However, a recent filing at Britain's Companies House, seen by Newsweek, stated: "New Country/State Usually Resident: UNITED STATES."The change was made on June 29, 2023, the same day Buckingham Palace publicly confirmed that Harry and Meghan had officially moved out of Frogmore Cottage. The eviction notice was sent to the couple in January 2023, just days after the publication of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," which made numerous allegations against the royal family. Meghan and Harry recently experienced an "awkward" moment on camera during an event in Miami. The incident occurred when Meghan presented Harry with an award and then posed for a photo shoot with the Duke and others, which was captured by the couple's Netflix cameras for an upcoming show.

The A Better HR Business podcast looks at how consultants and tech firms in the broad Human Resources field grow their business; and how they help employers get the best out of their people. In this episode of A Better HR Business, we are kindly joined by Aimee Bateman, founder of the renowned career development platform Careercake. Aimee shares her extraordinary journey of building and scaling her business, from the early challenges of technology limitations to the successful sale of Careercake to SocialTalent. Her insights on creating valuable products and fostering strong relationships are inspiring. Aimee has spent 22 years in the career development space. A former recruiter who became a career performance coach and eventually the CEO of a venture-backed Edtech startup.  As a recruiter, she placed over 2,000 professionals in new roles before founding Careercake, an e-learning company that was voted the UK's No.1 career development platform. As the CEO, she defied the odds by securing VC and angel investments across two continents, despite operating in a landscape where less than 1% of funding goes to a female founder. Together with her team, Careercake scaled into 42 countries supporting companies such as Nationwide, Companies House and Tech Nation to up-skill their people. In 2022 Aimee sold Careercake to the fabulous hiring skills platform, SocialTalent, before exiting and giving birth just 30 days later. 10 million people have taken Aimee's professional development courses, including 3 million on LinkedIn Learning and she's been featured as a career expert on the BBC and Sky.  In a wide-ranging discussion on the podcast, Aimee and Ben talked about: ✅ How she started the business, Careercake (it wasn't about making money). ✅ How it turned into a business. ✅ Taking on VC money and angel investors. ✅ How and why the business pivoted when it wasn't working. ✅ The new direction takes off. ✅ Selling the business to SocialTalent. ✅ Aimee's not sure what she'll build next - how she's deciding what to do. ✅ And much more.

Danny Kelly is joined by Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw to discuss the comfortable(ish) 2-0 victory over Everton, a game in which Harry Kane made his 400th appearance and continued Spurs' best-ever start to a Premier League season. We head to Old Trafford this midweek with the opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table. But when it comes to our title challenge this season, are you a Højbjerliever, or are you just Bentancurious?Elsewhere, we continue our observations on the early 2000s indy bangers that are, curiously, dominating the pre-game music at the stadium. Plus, we ponder the return of Nuno to Wolves; indulge in a spot on loanee watch; and ask what's going on behind the scenes as new documents are filed by Enic at Companies House.  Produced by Adonis Pratsides Hosted on Acast.

When you've found a business you want to acquire, how do you get in touch with the owner to get the ball rolling?   In this week's snackable episode, host Roland Frasier shares 10 simple ways to contact the owner of a business you're interested in buying. Whether you want to acquire it outright or cut a deal for consulting for equity or do a strategic alliance or a joint venture, you have to get to the decision maker. You need to talk to the owner. And to talk to them, you need to find them. Good news: the odds are in your favor. If one or two of these tips don't work out, you've got eight more options. Be sure to check out all the links at the end.   Listen in for some quick and brilliant solutions to getting access to the owner of a company you want to buy.   #1: Look up the number of the company and call.  This is the most obvious and easiest way. If you have a company already identified, then just look up the phone number, call them, and say to the person who answers the phone. “Who is the owner of this company? May I speak to her or him?” No research necessary.   #2: Go to https://www.secstates.com/ (secstates.com).   This website is basically a collection of the U.S. Secretaries of State for each of the 50 states. That's the government office where you file to form a corporation. Click on the Secretary of State site for your state. Type in the name of the company you're trying to find out the information for. This is updated every year, and the filing also includes the address. That's a really good way to get the home address of a director. Sending an actual physical letter can be really effective.    #3: In the UK, you can go to https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house (Companies House).   There are similar agencies in the Canadian provinces and Australia as well. You're basically just going to where the company is formed and looking up the official government filings in respect to it.   #4: Check out http://zoominfo.com/ (zoominfo.com).   Zoom Info has a lot of information on companies all over the world.   #5: Just go to the company's website.   Most business websites have information about the owners on the About Us page. If you can't find it there, try the Contact Us page. Or the Meet Our Team page.     #6: Do a “https://lookup.icann.org/ (Who Is?” lookup).  If you're having a really hard time, you can go do a “Who Is?” lookup or a reverse “Who Is?” lookup to see who is registered as the owner of the URL of the website of the company you're looking at. That information is public.   #7: Look up the Terms of Service.  If you go to the bottom of the website, there's a Terms of Service page. Click on that, and it will very often list the person or company that owns the site. The owner's email might even be there. You can look at the privacy terms as well.   #8: Go to http://dnb.com/ (dnb.com) or http://hoovers.com/ (hoovers.com).   This is a paid service where you can look up companies as well. D&B Hoovers is actually one company, but they each have slightly different databases.    #9: Google the business license.  You can Google the city/state, “business license,” and the name of the company. These searches will typically give you the names of owners. Sometimes it's an attorney. If it is, that person should know how to get in touch with the owner.   #10: Google the occupancy permit.   Google the city/state, “occupancy permit,” and the name of the company. This is just one more way to figure out who the owner is. This will also tell you if there's more than one owner. If you run into a brick wall with the first owner, don't be afraid to try the other one.    Remember: you always want to talk to a decision maker. Just like you always want to talk to the manager...
